Abstract
A method of fabricating a separator is provided. The method includes providing a porous non-woven substrate, and coating a first resin on the non-woven substrate, wherein the first resin includes hydrophilic oxyalkyl compounds, oxyalkyl polymers, oxyalkenyl alkyl polymers or derivatives thereof. The disclosure also provides a separator prepared by the method.
Description
- This application claims priority of Taiwan Patent Application No. 100149469, filed on Dec. 29, 2011, the entirety of which is incorporated by reference herein.
- The technical field relates to a method of fabricating a separator and a separator fabricated thereby.
- A lithium battery or lithium ion battery mainly comprises an anode of lithium alloy oxide, an organic liquid electrolyte, a separator, and a carbon cathode. The organic electrolyte for conducting ionic charges is filled in the pores of the battery structure. The separator disposed between the anode and cathode is utilized to separate the anode and cathode to prevent short circuiting therebetween.
- Some fundamental properties, for example, effectiveness in separation of the anode and cathode, a porous structure, superior mechanical intensity and elasticity, resistance to corrosion of electrolyte, resistance to oxidation, chemical stability, low weight, thin profile, and high electrolyte content are essential for separators utilized in batteries, especially low weight, thin profile, high porosity, small pore size, superior mechanical intensity and resistance to oxidation, preferably thermal resistance. Currently, rubber, PVC or paper used for separators suffers from large resistance, low anti-seismic ability, and ineffectiveness for closed batteries. Use of glass fiber is limited due to its brittleness and pollution problem. Recently, polyethylene (PE) and polypropylene (PP) separators are popular. They can be formed of a single layer, multiple layers or composite layers. For a composite layer of polypropylene/polyethylene/polypropylene, when the polyethylene is melted to close cells, the outer polypropylene will often maintain its original mechanical properties due to a higher melting point thereof than the polyethylene. However, during processes, if the temperature is continuously increased, the outer polypropylene will melt away resulting in the short circuiting of batteries and high-temperature combustion.
- In accordance with various batteries, non-woven fabrics, a three-dimensional network structure, with 80% porosity, can be correspondingly formed into proper separators with various pore sizes. A soft non-woven fabric with thermal stability has been widely applied in battery fabrication.
- One embodiment of the disclosure provides a method of fabricating a separator, comprising the following steps: providing a porous non-woven substrate; and coating a first resin on the non-woven substrate, wherein the first resin comprises hydrophilic oxyalkyl compounds, oxyalkyl polymers, oxyalkenyl alkyl polymers or derivatives thereof.
- One embodiment of the disclosure provides a separator, prepared by the disclosed method of fabricating a separator, wherein the separator has a pore size ranging from 50 nm to 800 nm and porosity ranging from 40% to 80%.
- One embodiment of the disclosure provides a separator, comprising: a porous non-woven substrate; and a first resin coated on the non-woven substrate, wherein the first resin comprises hydrophilic oxyalkyl compounds, oxyalkyl polymers, oxyalkenyl alkyl polymers or derivatives thereof, and the separator has a pore size ranging from 50 nm to 800 nm and porosity ranging from 40% to 80%.
- In the disclosure, a porous non-woven fabric (e.g., polyethylene terephthalate (PET), polyethylene (PE) or polypropylene (PP)), having a three-dimensional network structure with softness, thermal stability and more than 80% porosity, is utilized as a separator substrate, and combined with a first resin (e.g., hydrophilic resin such as hydrophilic oxyalkyl compounds, oxyalkyl polymers, oxyalkenyl alkyl polymers or derivatives thereof) coated thereon by using a hot-pressing machine or a roll-pressing machine to press the first resin into the pores of the substrate, to fabricate a thin (thickness: less than 30 μm) porous polyolefin separator with more than 50% porosity. The pore size can be further controlled to be less than 1 μm by adjusting resin viscosity (100-20,000 cp), drying temperature and pressing temperature (50-200° C.). Optionally, the non-woven substrate is first pressed to narrow its pore size to about 1 μm before coating the resin thereon. The resin viscosity and pressing temperature are then adjusted to control the pore size of the separator to he less than 1 μm.
- A detailed description is given in the following embodiments with reference to the accompanying drawings.
- The disclosure can be more fully understood by reading the subsequent detailed description and examples with references made to the accompanying drawing, wherein:
-
FIG. 1 is a diagram of charge/discharge of a lithium battery of a Comparative Example. -
FIG. 2 is a diagram of charge/discharge of a lithium battery according to an embodiment of the disclosure. -

- The first resin may be polyoxyethylene alkyl ether, polyoxypropylene alkyl ether, polyoxyethylene alkyl phenyl ether, polyoxyethylene-polyoxypropylene alcohol, polyoxyethylene fatty acid ester, trialkylamine oxide, polyoxyethylene lauric acid ester, polyethylene glycol, polyvinyl alcohol or fatty alcohol polyoxyethylene ether sulfate.
- In another embodiment, the separator further comprises a second resin coated on the first resin in addition to a porous non-woven substrate and a first resin. The second resin may comprise hydrophobic poly(vinylidene difluoride) (PVDF), polyacrylonitrile, acrylic, or derivatives thereof or a combination thereof. Additionally, in the second resin, an inorganic material is optionally mixed therein. The inorganic material may comprise aluminum oxide, zirconium oxide, magnesium oxide, titanium oxide, or the like or a combination thereof. The amount of the inorganic material may be 1-5% of the weight of the second resin solution (after the second resin solution is prepared, the inorganic material with an amount of 1-5% of the weight of the second resin solution is added).
- The disclosed separator can be directly applied in a variety of currently available thin lithium batteries.
- In the disclosure, a porous non-woven fabric (e.g., polyethylene terephthalate (PET), polyethylene (PE) or polypropylene (PP)), having a three-dimensional network structure with softness, thermal stability and more than 80% porosity, is utilized as a separator substrate, combined with the first resin (e.g., hydrophilic resin such as hydrophilic oxyalkyl compounds, oxyalkyl polymers, oxyalkenyl alkyl polymers or derivatives thereof) coated thereon, by using a hot-pressing machine or a roll-pressing machine to press the first resin into the pores of the substrate to fabricate a thin (thickness: less than 30 μm) porous polyolefin separator with more than 50% porosity. The pore size can be further controlled to be less than 1 μm by adjusting resin viscosity (100-20,000 cp), drying temperature and pressing temperature (50-200° C.). Optionally, the non-woven substrate is first pressed to narrow its pore size to about 1 μm before coating the resin thereon. The resin viscosity and pressing temperature are then adjusted to control the pore size of the separator to be less than 1 μm.
